Executive summary

Product, operations and the execution layer between them.

I work where product, business and execution meet - helping teams turn ideas into working products and clear ways of working.

For over 12 years, I have been working with IT companies, helping to launch products, build processes, scale teams, and support organizations through periods of growth and change.

I enjoy building structure where things feel unclear - creating processes people actually follow, improving communication across teams and making complex work easier to execute.

My style is calm, practical and direct. I believe good products are built through clear priorities, trust and consistent execution rather than noise or unnecessary complexity.

Strong products and strong teams come from clarity, trust and consistent work - not from noise or unnecessary complexity.

Yaroslav is always organized and informative, able to create great product documentation used across the pipeline.

I had the pleasure of working with Yaroslav during his time at Stakelogic. Yaroslav is always organized and informative being able to create great product documentation that can then be used for all further teams in the pipeline. He is able to bring strong leadership to product groups and make informed and research based decisions. Overall I am happy to give my praise to Yaroslav and wish him always all the best with all future career opportunities!

An exceptional blend of strategic vision, team empowerment and hands-on guidance - a lasting impact on projects and growth.

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Yaroslav at Stakelogic Live. As my manager, he brought an exceptional blend of strategic vision, team empowerment, and hands-on guidance that made a lasting impact on both our projects and my professional growth. He fostered a collaborative and dynamic environment, always encouraging innovation while keeping us aligned with the company's goals. Yaroslav had a remarkable ability to balance high-level oversight with a deep understanding of our day-to-day challenges, offering insightful solutions and unwavering support. His dedication to excellence and knack for motivating the team were instrumental in driving our success at Stakelogic Live. I'd recommend Yaroslav without hesitation to any organization looking for a leader who inspires and delivers results.

A great guy with a positive attitude who thinks outside the box - easy to work with and always delivers.

Working with Yaro over the last few years at Maxent was a pleasure. He's a great guy with a positive attitude who thinks outside of the box. Yaro and myself collaborated closely on various projects, he is easy to work with and always delivered good work. I hope our paths cross again in the coming future.

A great manager and outstanding mentor - humour and empathy that lift the spirit in stressful situations.

I had the pleasure of working with Yaro for four and a half years. He is a great manager and an outstanding mentor having a combination of both humour and empathy helps to lift the spirit in stressful situations. He always kept the team morale up, and I believe he is the best manager one could ask for. His ability to work and develop new designs/ideas to achieve the final product was always inspiring. Yaro has made me improve in many professional areas and introduced me to new design tricks and programs, which made me grow and build a better career. I highly recommend working with Yaroslav as I am sure that you and your company will benefit from his experience.

A true leader who finds the strengths in people and pushes them to their best - a brilliant mentor.

During my time work at Max Entertainment, I have nothing but praise to Yaro. As a Frontend Developer, I have constantly work with the Design team to work on various projects. Although Yaro was never my direct manager, he always allowed me to be free to express concerns and put my input. Being a true leader that he is, Yaro always managed to find the strengths in people and push them to their best. Through his recommendation, I started taking UX/UI courses which I feel made me better at my job and would actually want to focus on in my career. I've always loved how, as a Head of Casino and Lead Web Designer, he was constantly monitoring and checking our work and gave very good constructive criticism whenever needed. Yaro is a brilliant individual and a great mentor. Anyone would be so lucky to work with him!

Adaptable, strong work ethic, awesome character - set the bar extremely high for others to follow.

I worked with Yaroslav for a number of years during my time at Max Entertainment as the Head of Brand, where we collaborated on a number of projects. While there, I saw Yaroslav take on a number of important roles and had the pleasure of seeing him excel at each one he took on. As a designer (and then lead designer, and then UX designer) he produced fantastic work which set the bar extremely high for other designers to follow. As the games manager, his knowledge of the B2B sphere exploded and he became the go-to guy for anything game related. He's adaptable, with a very strong work ethic and awesome character - a pleasure to work with!
